You will walk around the farm, meet our sheep, hear the story of the land and its people back to famine times and beyond. This is a hill farm so involves a bit of hill walking at a leisurely pace that suits you. We are organic, and I am a farming for nature ambassador continuing old traditions of farming handed down through five generations of our family who have nurtured and cared for this land and preserved its natural habitat to the present day. You will see wonderful scenery on the walk. See, Peat Bog, turf harvested for the fire in bygone days, see diversity of seasonal plants and flowers that grow on the mountain. The purple heather and yellow gorse. Sometimes, the skylark will serenade us on our walk. A rare bird in most parts of Ireland these days. We will visit the Archaeological site, standing stone on the farm, see and hear about Fairy Forts and the early settlers on these lands. Learn about our trees, unique habitat. If you like this experience but the scheduled time or date does not suit, please message me and we can schedule a time that does. The walk is on a hill sheep farm so we don't allow dogs. The land is average mountain land sometimes wet, good walking boots/shoes and light rain gear needed. About 2 hours! At the end of this walk, you might well feel, that time has stood still in our valley.

Alpacas take to trekking quite easily. They walk in a line, one behind the other on a head collar & lead rope. Our guided treks start at our farm and ascend into the forest. The walk itself is at a very leisurely pace and lasts about 1.5 hours (there are inclines and the terrain is uneven with tree roots underfoot). PLEASE NOTE: MINIMUM AGE 12 YEARS, no infant carriers (and all guests must speak English). When you arrive on site, the alpacas will be grazing, and we will call them in using their yellow food bucket! Simon and I will introduce you to the alpacas whist getting them ready with head collars and leads. We will have a brief health & safety chat, as well as give you some idea of what to expect and some pointers so you can interact with your alpaca. We will also introduce you to all of their individual quirks and personalities. Alpacas are not able to carry packs or people, so they will accompany us as we walk the forest trail. We try not to let them stop to nibble grass for long periods. Half-way around the walk, we release the alpacas in an enclosed area, so we can feed them treats, and you can get very close and intimate with them. They will love you when we give you the apples and carrots to feed them. There will be plenty of photo opportunities throughout your visit. When we return to the farm, we will finish with a fibre and spinning demonstration.

Embark on a captivating 2.5-hour journey through the lesser-known but breathtakingly beautiful Toe Head Peninsula along Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way. This guided clifftop hike immerses you in nature, Irish heritage, and the protected wildlife of the Sheep's Head to Toe Head Special Protected Area (SPA). Starting near the Irish Coast Guard's Toe Head Station, you'll explore vibrant fields of wildflowers, rugged rocky outcrops, and diverse wildlife such as choughs and peregrine falcons. Delve into the Irish concept of dúchas, connecting with history, nature, heritage, and environment using all five of your senses. Learn traditional Irish words for flora and fauna, such as rón (seal), snas na gcloch (lichen), and cág cosdearg (red-legged crow). Hear loads of tales from local folklore, including the tale of heroine Nell Ruadh's bravery in the battle of Tráigh Liceach in 1823. The tour finishes at the picturesque Tráigh Liceach strand where we take a refreshing tea or coffee break. Discover the essence of West Cork's Wild Atlantic Way through the awe-inspiring beauty, exhilarating experiences, and deep connections with nature, conservation, and Irish heritage. This hike on the Toe Head Peninsula is the perfect setting for an unforgettable adventure, leaving you with a profound appreciation for the natural world and richness of Irish culture.

The captain and crew are not just navigators of the sea but storytellers of the land. They bring to life the legends, history, and natural wonders of Valentia Island, making your tour a truly immersive experience. Discover from the water's edge, a 6th-century Monastery on Church Island, which was used by Skelligs Monks surrounded by the safety of Valentia Harbour. Then continue to learn of the Viking's invasion of the Skellig Coast who then developed a village on the neighbouring Beginish Island where ruins remain today. At speed admire the castle from the river of Cahersiveen to be transported back in time to when the High Kings of Ireland built their mighty castles and fought blooding battles to keep their lands. Following the stunning views of the majestic coastline of Beginish Island and Valentia, the Captain will then lead the tour to the white walls of Valentia Island Lighthouse. Originally a Cromwellan Fort but today a working Lighthouse, this corner of the island overlooking Dingle Bay has stories dating back to the 17th century and before. Sit and watch the waves crashing on the rocks below while listening to the stories of shipwrecks, Pirates and more. The last part of the harbour adventure glides guests past the seaside village of Knightstown village, once a bustling waterfront with the operation of the Transatlantic Telegraph Cable that was laid in 1866.

Carrauntoohil es la montaña más alta de Irlanda, con 1.038 metros de altura (3.405 pies) en The MacGillycuddy’s Reeks, Condado de Kerry. El lugar de encuentro e inicio del camino hacia la cima sera en Cronin's Yard a las 09:30 donde hay cafeteria, aseos y parking. Después de revisar el equipo de todos los participantes, comenzaremos nuestra hermosa caminata. En el camino, nos encontraremos con ovejas, observaremos cómo se elevan los pájaros, oleremos las flores y la hierba mientras caminamos por el valle Hag's Glen, junto al rio y lagos durante una hora. Con nuestro primer descanso en la base del Hag's Tooth, disfrutaremos nuestra primera taza de té / café en la naturaleza. Aqui nos prepararemos para la inclinada subida y hacer cumbre. Avanzando despacio y con breves trepadas nos dirigiremos a O’Shea's Gully hasta encontrar el collado que enlaza hacia la izquierda con la cima . A medida que nos elevamos más y más, somos recibidos con mejores y espectaculares vistas, experimentamos más placer que dolor. Cuando finalmente llegamos a la cumbre, nos impresionaran las vistas, las mejores de Irlanda en un día despejado. Podemos ver todo el Condado de Kerry, el Valle Negro, la Península de Dingle, West Cork, El Océano Atlántico. Un espectaculo natural ¡¡No tiene precio!!

This is a more hands on & fun Experience for guests where you will each sand, seal, wax embellish and finish a Custom turned piece to take home with you. We start the Experience with a brief look at some finished pieces. Moving on we will have a look at my dry room store & then we will move through the drying stores & external work areas. Questions are welcome. This should take about 10 mins or so. My aim is to be brief so we can concentrate on the main event, Ornament Making. Please Note: Due to the complexity and skill required to turn one of my Hanging Ornaments, I will turn the decoration from a wood blank into its final shape in two stages as you watch. I will then show you how to: Fully sand the piece yourself Add colour, your choices! Embellish the grain with gold wax, to make it pop! Apply the overcoat of High Gloss Add the hook eye and ribbon, the colour of which you will choose for yourself! Some of these steps are quite difficult so if at any stage if you cannot complete a step I will help you or do it for you. I am very well known for my Hanging Ornament decorations & they have moved on from the earlier natural grain versions to a mixture of colour and natural grain. You can buy some of these Ornaments in the shops but it is far more special to be involved in the making of one yourself! Ability to understand English is a must to enjoy this.
